Another quick easy recipe and a family favorite! Just chop, drop, and mix! It's also easy to modify the intensity of the 'heat' by adding or subtracting a little of the jalapeno. An excellent beginning to a Tex-Mex meal, and I even use it on pain lettuce salads instead of dressing!

Directions

Put the tomatoes into a large bowl.

Chop the onion and cilantro and add to tomatoes.

Start with 2 jalapenos, cut in half and take out and discard the seeds (this is where a lot of the heat is located). Slice into thin strips and then chop the jalapenos very tiny. Be care NOT to touch your face or eyes and to wash your hands immediately upon finishing.

Add the jalapenos to the mixture and combine.

Add oil and vinegar and stir. The colors should be beautifully blended and green should pop deliciously out of the red!
